Madrid, Dec. 3 -- Sevilla has been sanctioned with a partial ground closure and a fine of 45,000 euros for the incidents which led to Sunday's derby at home to local rivals, Betis being stopped for around 15 minutes and the players being taken to the dressing room.
The matchday referee Munuera Montero temporarily suspended the match in the 87th minute with Betis leading 2-0, after an earlier appeal to Sevilla supporters to stop throwing objects such as cigarette lighters and plastic bottles onto the pitch was ignored.
